Sounds like good news in the 2022 Budget regarding the Canada iZEV program.
“To help make zero-emission vehicles more affordable for Canadians, Budget 2022 “proposes to provide $1.7 billion over five years, starting in 2022-23, with $0.8 million in remaining amortization, to Transport Canada to extend the Incentives for Zero-Emission Vehicles (iZEV) program until March 2025. Eligibility under the program will also be broadened to support the purchase of more vehicle models, including more vans, trucks, and SUVs, which will help make ZEVs more affordable.” Further details are awaited.
Charging stations are not left behind, as the Canada Infrastructure Bank will invest $500 million in large-scale urban and commercial zero-emission vehicle charging and refuelling infrastructure. The government also proposes to provide $400 million over five years, starting in 2022-23, to Natural Resources Canada to fund the deployment of zero-emission vehicle charging infrastructure in suburban and remote communities through the Zero-Emission Vehicle Infrastructure Program.”
currently, to qualify for the federal incentive of $5000, the car needs to start below $45k and with packages, the trim cannot exceed $55k.
I except that range to change to include a slightly higher price range. Maybe start at or below 50-55 and max out at like 60-65.
I also expect they will increase the dollar amount to $7500 or $10k
What do you Canadian guys think? Could be perfect timing for Solterra deliveries here.
